Genesis Meets Poser - Introducing DSON Importer for Poser

Comments

So another question. Do the creature morphs come as full body morphs or partials? Like... can I create a Poser!Genesis creature with say, the Anubis legs, the troll head, and the gorilla body? Mind you, I have no idea if that even works like that in DS4, but basically, do the creature morphs come in as partials or can we mix and match?

It depends on the figure -- Anubis has separate head and leg dials if you only want one of those, Troll and Gorilla have separate head dials. Some are only one FBM dial.

This is up to the morphs creator. I know many of them come with an option to just apply the head, or to reverse the head out of the body. You'll have to look at individual products to see what splits they offer.

I don't have those specifically, so I can't say. But with David 3, for example, you have the option of doing a full body morph or just the head of David 3 (both of those dials are in the BODY). At least for the human figures, I don't see a way to just have one figures legs and another one's arms. I'm sure that boils down to rigging differences, so I would think it would be unlikely with Anubis, troll and gorilla. However, there are *universal* body morphs that can be used (e.g. for widening hips, etc.) I have no idea about the genesis creature creator morphs.

Good thing I'm seeing is the JCMs for the Sabbatic Goat get pulled over to.
The easiest way I found to get it working is setup a new runtime folded in Poser 2012 and direct it to the DAZ3D My Lids Content runtime folder and load genesis from there it finds all the paths. But I guess someone has all ready said that.

I had the same problem with the Aniblock Importer for Poser, but was not able to resolve it.
My Poser 9 is not installed in my Program Files...I installed to a seperate location, but installed everything in the same folder (ie H:/Poser 9)

Now, I still don't totally understand how all this nifty, new-fangled stuff worked, but I'm looking through the DSON compatible products and saw that the various Gen3 and Gen4 for Genesis shapes were on the list. So, evidently, they've been updated with DSON capability.

What about those of us who carefully scoured the internet, looking through every nook and cranny because we're poor starving art students with barely two pennies to rub together, and purchased our Gen4/Gen3 shapes for Genesis via 3DWorld or ImagineFX magazine DVDs? Should we worry about not getting updates to these products?

In the first post it says "Yes, an action to convert files for use in the DSON Importer for Poser has been added to DAZ Studio version 4.5.1.6 ", which sounds great, but when I try to update Studio, I get version 4.5.0.114... is 4.5.1.6 not out yet, or ....?

Is everyone having this problem running Windows 7, 64bit?

Even though you have a 64 bit machine. Poser 9 is 32 Bit. You need to install the 32 bit version;

Bigest problem I see is that V5 is still genesis and an import, what like made in china?
it looks like another boof....
say how about a v6 made for poser?.............
actually the whole genesis buisness has saved me a lot of money ;)

Can you do the following.

Launch the python shell (Scripts > Python Shell)

Then type: "sys.path" and hit enter

It will print out a list of paths. Is the "dzdsonimporter.pyd" file located in one of the printed paths?

Yes the Lycan is working and the JCMs working on that to. Next I need to start working on the Mat presets export and get that working in Poser to.

Oh *BIG HUG* I really like Lycan, but I like my ability to light scenes better in Poser. Which means I'll be able to light him even better once I get him in Poser.
OK we have lift off with the scripts but they only pull over the diffuse color nothing else so that means the rest of the poser stuff like Disp Bump and Spec are going to have be done manually.

Am testing this... seems to load without error after updating. Thank you for the tip. Haven't yet tried the dson script, bu no error at load on a Win 7 64 bit machine after doing this... Thanks again :) Crosses fingers that the script works.

"dzdsonimporter.pyd" is not listed in the list, but I can confirm I have at this location:
H:\Poser 9\Runtime\Python\addons\dson\dzdsonimporter.pyd

There is one path that reads "H:\Poser 9\Runtime\Python\addons\" but no path that ends directly at "H:\Poser 9\Runtime\Python\addons\dson\"

Lucky you. Out of desperation I tried both of them. Neither solved the problem for me, and I have the same system you have (Windows 7, 64-bit).

Should I try deleting older versions of the Visual C++ Redistributable perhaps?

Ok. I was having the same problem. I have Windows 7, 64 bit. I used the 32 bit for Poser 9. I have it on an external hard drive. I have the Poser 9 folder. Then there is the Poser 9 Content folder. I put the DSON Importer for Poser in the Poser 9 folder. The others I put in the Poser 9 Content folder. Now it works.

Somebody might want to fix the M5 Pro Bundle. I've reset my downloads and found there are now two Mac copies of the Benjamin for M5 Poser Companion file but no PC version of same. Could be problematic, that.
